Today was GRASS RELAYS! Funnest meet of the year by far. We got to AF at about 7:20 and sat around for a while before we warmed up. We did some strides and got in position. We were the last ones there so we got the worst spot. The gun went off and I went out hard so I wouldnt get caught in the bottleneck. I was about tenth coming up the little hill and by the time we went around the corner and over the first hay bale I was in the lead. coming around the goalpost I surged and extended my lead so that by the time I was running around the baseball field I had a pretty sizeable lead. I continued to lead until we were coming down the goalpost on the second lap, at which point a kid from Desert Hills came up on my shoulder. I stayed in front of him until with six hundred to go him and two AF guys passed me. The AF huys took off but I kind of stayed with Desert Hills guy until once we were out of the gauntlet he outkicked me and beat me solidly. I was hoping to win but my time was better than I expected. If I had run this time in the race last race year I would have won by 10 seconds but everyone just gets faster every year somehow. Afterwards I cooled down and watched the rest of the races. In the varsity race we took second!!!!! We beat Riverton and Bingham pretty soundly and ran the fifth fastest team time ever. Clayson ran a 10:04 which was expected but somehow Little Warner ran 10:15. That puts him in the top 20 ever im pretty sure. I knew he was going to be fast this year but I would never have guessed that fast in a million years.
